House cuts Energy dept, powers WASHINGTON (AP) — In a setback for President Carter’s energy program, the House voted overwhelmingly on Thursday to deny the new energy secretary the power to set natural gas prices. Instead, the House gave the au thority to a five-member board, despite Carter administration in sistence that a comprehensive energy policy required that a single administrator have that power. The House also approved two steps to further limit the powers of the planned new department. One would prevent the President from reorganizing the price-setting board out of existence. A second step would give Congress veto au thority over regulations issued by the energy department. The debate on the price-setting powers centered on how much au thority should be given the new energy chief. “This kind of power is too much in the hands of one person,” said Rep. John Moss, D-Calif.,.whose amendment giving the indepen dent board price-setting authority was supported by House Republi cans and a coalition including consumer organizations. A final vote on creating Carter’s proposed new energy department was put off until today. The Senate has approved an energy department bill which also creates a board with price-setting authority. The Senate would give the President the authority to veto decisions of a three-member board and the new energy secret ary could propose specific natural gas price policies. Rep. John Moss, D-Calif., sup ported by some House Republi cans, moved to give natural gas pricing powers to the independent five-member energy regulatory commission within the energy de partment. Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., went even further, introducing the amendment which would keep such a commission outside the department and give it price setting authority over both natural gas and oil. Rep. Robert Bauman, R-Md., also criticized Carter’s plan, say ing the proposed new department will begin as a "monster bureac racy” whose $10.6 billion budget and 20,000 employes will inevita bly swell far beyond its initial size. Rep. Jack Brooks, D-Tex., chairman of the Government Op erations Committee which had approved the administration reor ganization plan, replied that the new secretary will have no new powers beyond those existing in the federal bureaucracy. SHAMPOO with Warren Beatty 150 Sci. 7 -and 9:30 F June 3 Sat June 4 GOP: “US not out of gas” WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican party took to nationwide television Thursday to say that “the sky is not falling” and the United States can produce plenty of energy if the government allows greater incentives. The GOP program posed a direct contradiction to one of the basic beliefs of Pres. Carter’s energy experts: That the United States is running out of oil and natural gas. “We’re not running out of anything, except confidence in our selves,’’ says former California Gov. Ronald Reagan. "There is plenty of energy still available to us. There is enough oil and gas in the world to last more than 100 years. There is enough coal, right here in the United States, to last for several centuries.” Republican spokesmen, however, could not cite any evidence that this “world” oil and gas supply would, in fact, be available to the United States or that it could last 100 years in a growing world economy rather than the no-growth situation assumed by the recent United Nations study which provided that estimate. The program, produced and paid for by the Republican National Committee and the Republican Campaign Committee, was broadcast by NBC, which offered free time for a GOP response to Pres. Carter’s nationwide energy broadcasts. The first of Carter’s two mid-April broadcasts painted a gloomy outlook of declining U.S. oil and natural gas supplies, necessitating strong conservation measures and Increased coal and nuclear power. Carter aides called it Ns “sky is falling speech,” paving the way for the subsequent presentation of his detailed energy plan. Poor-rich conference ends PARIS (AP) — The 18-month conference of industrial and de veloping nations limped to an end in discord Thursday night after oil-producing countries rejected the West’s demand for continuing talks on global energy problems. After 36 hours of nonstop negotiations, a draft communique was drawn up at the 27-nation conference, known as the North South dialogue. It said the developing nations felt the conference results “fall short of the objectives” of reach ing a new international economic order. The wealthier nations “wel comed the spirit of cooperation" at the conference and expressed “their determination to maintain that spirit as the dialogue con tinues” elsewhere. The industrialized nations ex pressed regret no energy agree ment had been reached. They sought to engage the Organiza tion of Petroleum Exporting Coun tries in a discussion that could give them some influence over pricing, but oil cartel members ob jected to infringement of their dis cretion in price setting. Officials said a book of more than 100 pages on disagreements and agreements among the na tions would be attached to the final communique. 3c COPIES KINKOS OVERNIGHT NO MINIMUM UNBOUND 1128 Alder 344-7894 Also in Corvallis j FRIDAY 4-6 2 __ 1 jin ana f\ Pitcher Sale SCandal (no cover) 6-8:30 Portland vs. Philadelphia on the Big Tube FRIDAY & SATURDAY 9-2 Scandal (c.,W) SUNDAY NOON Portland vs. Philadelphia on the Big Tube
